hey guys about a year back i blew my rear driveshaft in half
HA
This is all for a 1996 chevy silverado k1500 4x4 ext cab short box
-has the HD tow package
-the big 9 1/4 rear axle
Then i picked a drive shaft up from the local junk yard ... the drive shaft is a one piece aluminum drive shaft (not two as seen in pic. haha) and put it in.... come to realize that the u joint was a smig smaller... but drove it anyway ... sometimes you could here it rattle when hard braking or hard accelarating.... well do day if finally got around to doing it today and when i got the proper u joint and drive shaft out i find out that the u joint in the drive shaft in a 1/16th of an inch smaller then the u joint that fits the rear end...... My hole problem is that the new u joint is too big for the drive shaft.... So my question is there two differant drive shafts for these trucks?
proper u joint size for me is : 1 1/8 in
other size : 1 1/16 in
